These Toys Look Like SO Much Fun!!

I was flipping through my Parenting magazine (free issue I got because someone signed me up without my knowing) and came across this cool looking toy that I think would be a smash hit with Claire.It's called the The Froggie Bubble Blower. You just fill it up with regular old bubble bath and a little water, turn it on and it croaks along to three different tunes while spewing bubbles into the tub. It also suctions right onto the tub wall. Only $24.99 at Target. Claire LOVES bubbles, so maybe if we can find it on sale before Christmas, this can be one of her gifts.

Another thing I love and want to get her is the Grow With Me Kitchen by Fisher-Price. It looks amazing, and would last for a long time. It goes from this:To This:

All we'd need to get is some fake food and some dishes and she'd be set for hours of fun! She LOVES kitchen stuff. I mean, I probably couldn't even tell you where a slotted plastic spoon is right now because she raids my drawers and tupperware and pretends to cook. If she had the play kitchen, I could set it up in the kitchen, and she could cook along with me. Maybe then I wouldn't lose all of my untensils. It comes in pink and blue and is only $74.99 at Toys R Us. Not a bad price. Maybe it will be a little cheaper during the Day After Thanksgiving sales.

Speaking of pretend dishes, I'm sure she'd also go bananas for this:
The Fisher Price Say Please Tea Set. Again, she loves dishes, and has also become OBSESSED with shapes and shape sorters, and the dessert plate there is a shape sorter toy. At the library, she will sit and spend a good hour with the shape sorter toys. Which completely surprises me because she's only 17 months, but she loves those shapes. She remove them from the toy, then put them back in the toy and do it all over again. She does the same here at home, but not with shape sorter stuff, with the playdough creativity center Ethan has. She'll take the playdough containters out, then put them back in. It's fun to watch her. She gets really into it. Only $15.99 at Target. Maybe it'll be on sale soon.

Anyways, that's about all. Toys for Ethan are always MUCH harder to find, discuss and share. He's 7, and much too cool for any certain toy these days. We have to set him loose with toy catalogs and a permanent marker when the Christmas catalogs come along so I can e-mail lists of wants to our family. The only thing it's really guarnateed he'll love these days are art supplies and baking supplies. The kids loves to paint and bake!
